Taking bare pontoons like this is not attractive to reef builders because by the time you build the rest of it and pay for that and then the problem arrives that it won't tow at a reasonable speed and is unstable with much weight in any decent sea these things are really not practical and sometimes become dangerous to deploy off of.

I've been deploying for many years and have seen people try this more than once and if you are trying to deploy decent reefs with enough weight to stay put its not a good idea.

Just my opinion.
